BULL "everywhere". Statues of bulls, paintings of bulls, bull figurines.
The Wall Street fraudster Bernard Madoff viewed the bull as his personal motif - his homes in New York and Palm Beach are full of Bully and even his 55-foot yacht is charmly named 'Bull'.
US Marshals Service has provided us a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle led by Madoff and his wife, Ruth, on the proceeds of a corrupt pyramid scheme snaring unsuspecting investors over two decades.
US authorities are seeking buyers for Madoff's penthouse apartment in Manhattan, his beachside mansion in Palm Beach and a summer house in the Hamptons, as part of an effort to generate compensation for victims who lost their savings in Wall Street's biggest ever fraud.
In Madoff's 4,000 sq ft New York flat, the fraudster's personal office contains a cherrywood desk with a plain green lamp. A wooden bull sits on a table nearby, and the couple's living quarters boast a baby Steinway grand piano, Persian rugs, a breakfast nook looking out over Manhattan skyline and a wrap-around terrace with 360-degree views.
In Florida, the couple's beachside villa, with an estimated value of $7.5m (£4.5m), offers five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and an L-shaped private dock. The living room contains four paintings of bulls and it seems that Madoff had a particular penchant for footwear - the authorities found more than 40 pairs of custom-made shoes in the closet

Fluff.....
It's all quite comical that Madoff actually go found wanting in a "BEAR" market, Well maybe not so funny for the private investors that got the bull horn to prop up his ponzi scheme lifestyle..
